Atlanta Braves: Can Anthony Swarzak sustain this run of success?

When the Atlanta Braves traded for Anthony Swarzak the bullpen was in a really bad place and ranked among the worst in baseball.

But since acquiring the 33-year-old veteran, the Braves bullpen has been one of the best in baseball.

#Braves bullpen now boasts the third-best ERA in the National League (3.78). Entering play today that was good for sixth best in the Majors.

Since adding Anthony Swarzak on May 22, the Atlanta pen has posted an MLB-best 2.67 ERA over that span.@680TheFan https://t.co/nA4XESreD6
